Organic wine - preparation, Cantina Loda, Lugana DOC, Lugliet, white 

The Cantina Loda vineyards are located just 5 km south of Lake Garda on moderately hilly terrain that is relatively easy to work with.

The vines at the age of 12 years (2021) grow on predominantly clay/loamy soil, which on the one hand is very fertile and rich in minerals, on the other hand is no longer passable with machines after prolonged rain and can hardly be walked on. On the other hand, this soil becomes rock hard when dry and can no longer be worked.

The grapes of the Trebbiano di Soave variety are also called Turbiana here, are harvested manually, destemmed immediately, gently pressed and spontaneously fermented at low temperature with the grape's own yeasts (without breeding yeasts) in stainless steel tanks. During these operations, the grape must or wine is in a nitrogen atmosphere (an inert gas) that prevents must/wine from coming into contact with oxygen, thus preventing its oxidation. In this way, the fruity aromas of the grapes can be preserved and combined with the aromas created during fermentation. This white organic wine then matures in stainless steel tanks until it is bottled in the spring of the year following the harvest. 

The average harvest is 100 quintals per hectare, that is 5,000 kg of grapes that yield 3,750 wine. 

The DOC denomination (controlled designation of origin for quality wines) LUGANA may only be awarded to white wines from this region, 5 km south of Lake Garda.
Quality red wines from the Cantina Loda are marked with the DOC GARDA.

By the way, the Lugana wine region is partly in the province of Veneto and the province of Lombardy
